Supplier Audits

We specialize in detecting and correcting errors and oversights in financial transactions.

Recovery Audits Explained

Businesses in all sectors can suffer financial losses due to the complexity of administration. This could be from not receiving all monies due from your suppliers or inadvertently paying suppliers too much for the goods and services you buy from them.

What is Recovery Audit?

Transactional errors, throughout the Procure to Pay cycle, can happen and most will be picked up by your own internal controls. However, a small number of errors will remain unchallenged.

Profit Connect identify these unchallenged items, recover the money you have lost and provide valuable insights to improve internal controls reducing the likelihood of future errors.

P2P cycle

In all financial transactions with suppliers, some money is lost, Profit Connect recovers all that money for you.

Our recovery audit fee models

Profit Connect is a revenue line, not a cost line, and our fee structure delivers that for you. Our recovery audit services deliver revenue to clients that had been lost to time. To achieve the highest value we deliver services under one of two fee models:
1. Pure Contingency
Our fee is a percentage based on the cash delivered back to your business and depends on a number of factors. Our highest net value approach means we staff each project, locally in your offices, with the right skill level necessary to achieve the best results.
2. Fixed Fee and contingency
In some instances delivering highest net value requires a fixed fee element as part of the project, with an additional success fee.
